CAD & Flow Methodology Engineer

The role

You will build the infrastructure that connects the chip design flow. You will own design flows across frontend and backend while building the bridge between industry EDA tools and Voltai's AI systems.

What you will do

• Build and maintain design flows spanning RTL, synthesis, STA, place and route, and signoff.
• Integrate commercial EDA tools with Voltai's AI agents and data pipelines.
• Build regression, tracking, and reporting infrastructure for design and verification.
• Manage EDA licenses, compute infrastructure, and job scheduling at scale.
• Partner with ML researchers to generate and curate large-scale design data.
• Support customer deployments in locked-down on-prem environments.

Required qualifications

• 5+ years of CAD, flow, or methodology experience at a semiconductor or EDA company.
• Hands-on experience with major Synopsys and Cadence tools.
• Strong Python and Tcl, plus solid software engineering practices.
• Experience with LSF, Slurm, or similar compute farm infrastructure.
• Understanding of the full RTL-to-GDSII flow.

Nice to have

• Experience with cloud or Kubernetes-based EDA infrastructure.
• Experience with open-source EDA tools (Yosys, OpenROAD).
• Background in ML data pipelines.
